Over on VAF, a large contingent of pilots are convinced that ADS-B was designed for, and will inevitably lead to, user's fees. Given the tracking capabilities inherent with the system, this is certainly plausible.
What do you think?

It's easy regardless, no worries. That has nothing to do with this hardware/software interface for airplanes. That is all about reducing cost of services. It in fact is exactly what you ask for, be left alone. Thing is, you are not alone in the sky, so others have to know where you are to avoid you. What NextGen is meant to accomplish is to put all traffic and navigation services into the hands of of flight management systems that will autonomously avoid collisions with traffic or terrain and can talk to a terminal network that will sequence and space arrivals and departures much more precisely so they can increase the traffic volume at push times with weather.
